Corner or bracket for printer enclosures made with PVC tubes

thingiverse

This corner will fit on 1/2" Schedule 40 PVC conduit from Home Depot or any other hardware store. To build a full enclosure, print eight of them. To create the enclosure faces, I decided to go for five panels made of "Reflectix small project rolls" panels (or multi-layer reflective insulation) from Home Depot (24in x 10ft), which is enough for a CR10s enclosure. To hold the insulation on the frame, I used velcro in the corners and printed clips in between (see my other related things to find those clips). The front panel is fixed with velcro only so that it can be easily removed. What's missing is an inside light, and you're good to go. The holes in the two diagonal bracings are there to link two diagonally opposed corners with a wire to increase structure rigidity if needed. The through holes within the three branches are to fix the PVC tube within the bracket if needed (use a drill to drill the tube and use a wire or something to go through the bracket and PVC tube). This is probably the cheapest and easiest-to-make enclosure. Three of PVC tubes cost $6, one roll of reflective insulation costs $10, 5ft of velcro costs $7, and some wire for $3 make a total of $26 without filament.
